I was so tired yesterday after playing basketball with my colleagues at Kovan. It has been probably 7 years since I played basketball last time in college.

I went back to the place where I stay. I was waiting for the traffic light to turn green with a group of people. Then suddenly a man started go across the road when the light was still red. There are cars running on the road. Luckily, he went to the other side without any accident. I can tell from his back that he may be a Indian or Malay. At this moment, some guy started to talk..."He is so lucky...Why didn't he wait for the light?"...I noticed there was a Chinese-looking family in the group of people. The wife replied her husband:"Last time I saw a China girl going across the road when the light is red, she was almost bumped." Then one kid said, "I guess in China they don't have traffic lights"..."Yeah.." the mom said...Why?

Why when you see something not good, you think about China? What bad thing did China do to you? Where did you gradparents come from? You hope you would become Malay or Indian some day?

I know why. Because you know nothing about the world out of Singapore, you never go out and see the world! I do have some friends from Singapore - Malay, Indian, Singaporean Chinese. Most of my friends are friendly - Annie, Nancy, Eric... But I also notice there are a certain percentage of Singaporean Chinese who look down on China a lot. I don't want to change your mind, but you should not teach your kids like this. A lot of your kids will go to work and live in China in the future I believe. You should open their mind, not limit them. Am I right?
